I am trying to build a 32/64-bit installer in one. The only thing that differs on a 32-bit and 64-bit machine is the call to RegAsm.exe. For a 64-bit machine, this code should look at a 64-bit infrastructure, and for a 32-bit machine - a standard one.
32bit: "C: \ Windows \ microsoft.net \ framework" 64bit: "C: \ Windows \ microsoft.net \ Framework64";
I have a package setup to run installation actions. For my 64-bit action, I have a check option for IsWin64.
File Name: {dotnet4064} \ Regasm.exe; Parameters: "" mydll.dll "" / codebase "; WorkingDir: {app}; StatusMsg:" Add-in registration "; Flags: RunHidden; Check: IsWin64;
Multiple log file lines before error

Everything works fine on a 64-bit machine. On a 32 bit machine, I get an error message:
Internal error: Unable to run files in 64-bit places on this version of Windows
I went through all the help documentation and Google and can’t block the reason why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.

I solved this by adding: ArchitecturesInstallIn64BitMode = x64, and then using Check: Is64BitInstallMode
